the iDRAC, OpenManage Enterprise, and OpenManage Enterprise Modular. Ansible is an automation tool that can configure systems, deploy software, and perform more advanced IT tasks such as continuous deployments or zero downtime rolling updates. With OpenManage Ansible Modules for PowerEdge servers, data center and IT administrators can rapidly deploy their infrastructure, change server configurations, and manage configuration drift against a known baseline. For more information, see www.dell.com/support/article/sln310720. Chassis and server managers Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller The integrated Dell Remote Access Controller 9 (iDRAC9) delivers advanced, agent-free, local and remote server administration. Embedded in every PowerEdge server, iDRAC9 provides a secure means to automate a multitude of common management tasks. Because iDRAC is embedded in every PowerEdge server, there is no additional software to install; just plug in power and network cables, and iDRAC is ready to go. Even before installing an operating system (OS) or hypervisor, IT administrators have a complete set of server management features at their fingertips. With iDRAC9 in place across the Dell EMC PowerEdge portfolio, the same IT administration techniques and tools can be applied throughout. This consistent management platform allows easy scaling of PowerEdge servers as an organization's infrastructure needs to grow. Customers will be able to use the iDRAC RESTful API for the latest in scalable administration methods of PowerEdge servers. With this API, iDRAC enables support for the Redfish standard and enhances it with Dell EMC extensions to optimize at-scale management of PowerEdge servers. By having iDRAC at the core, the entire OpenManage portfolio of Systems Management tools allows every customer to tailor an effective, affordable solution for any size environment. iDRAC performs firmware update, backup and restore, lifecycle log, and hardware inventory export. For more information, see the iDRAC documents at www.dell.com/idracmanuals. iDRAC Service Module This module complements iDRAC with monitoring and configuration information from the operating system(OS). You can also access a limited version of the iSM interface from the OS. You can enable and disable features on iSM by the iDRAC interfaces to control the CPU and memory consumed on the server's operating system. The iDRAC Service Module provides the following key features: • View operating system (OS) information. • Replicate Lifecycle Controller logs to operating system logs. • Perform automatic system recovery. • Populate Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) information. • Integration with SupportAssist Collection (SAC). • Use the Prepare to Remove option on a NVMe class PCIe SSD. • Access iDRAC interfaces using host IP. • Remote full power cycle. • iDRAC GUI launcher from host OS (Windows OS only). • Use remote iDRAC hard reset for 13th and 14th generation of PowerEdge servers. • Access iDRAC MIB compatible SNMP traps from the host operating system. • TLS protection enabled for iSM to iDRAC communication over OS-BMC Passthru. • Single sign-on (SSO) to access iDRAC GUI from Host OS Administrator's desktop (Windows and Linux). • IPv6 communication between iSM to iDRAC over OS-BMC Passthru (Linux only). For more information, see the iDRAC User's Guide available at www.dell.com/support/article/sln311300. Dell EMC OpenManage Enterprise-Modular Edition The Dell EMC OpenManage Enterprise-Modular Edition (OME-Modular Edition) helps to transform how you manage the infrastructure and enable the business quickly. It is a unified web/RESTful API interface that manages all the nodes including compute, storage, and networking. It helps reduce costs and consolidates multiple tools for ease of access and monitoring. The simplified administration helps deploy and monitor at scale, from one to many chassis, with the support for remote management. The Agile and intelligent automation drives faster hardware rollouts and reduces repetitive tasks for accelerated lifecycle management. 10 Systems Management Product Overview

Chassis and server managers
Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller
The integrated Dell Remote Access Controller 9 (iDRAC9) delivers advanced, agent-free, local and remote server administration.
Embedded in every PowerEdge server, iDRAC9 provides a secure means to automate a multitude of common management tasks.
Because iDRAC is embedded in every PowerEdge server, there is no additional software to install; just plug in power and network cables,
and iDRAC is ready to go. Even before installing an operating system (OS) or hypervisor, IT administrators have a complete set of server
management features at their fingertips.
With iDRAC9 in place across the Dell EMC PowerEdge portfolio, the same IT administration techniques and tools can be applied
throughout. This consistent management platform allows easy scaling of PowerEdge servers as an organization's infrastructure needs to
grow. Customers will be able to use the iDRAC RESTful API for the latest in scalable administration methods of PowerEdge servers. With
this API, iDRAC enables support for the Redfish standard and enhances it with Dell EMC extensions to optimize at-scale management of
PowerEdge servers. By having iDRAC at the core, the entire OpenManage portfolio of Systems Management tools allows every customer
to tailor an effective, affordable solution for any size environment.
iDRAC performs firmware update, backup and restore, lifecycle log, and hardware inventory export. For more information, see the iDRAC

iDRAC Service Module
This module complements iDRAC with monitoring and configuration information from the operating system(OS). You can also access a
limited version of the iSM interface from the OS. You can enable and disable features on iSM by the iDRAC interfaces to control the CPU
and memory consumed on the server’s operating system.
The iDRAC Service Module provides the following key features:
•
View operating system (OS) information.
•
Replicate Lifecycle Controller logs to operating system logs.
•
Perform automatic system recovery.
•
Populate Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) information.
•
Integration with SupportAssist Collection (SAC).
•
